people love to say "you should read conservative opinion pieces too" and every conservative opinion piece is like "corporations should have the right to vote but minorities shouldn't. source: I made it up"

The core of fascism really isn't any deeper than "I want to exorcise my insecurities by bullying my schoolmates, and not get in trouble because my dad is rich" and all the rest is scaffolding an ostensibly serious value system around that fantasy

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

THEY MURDERED 60 KIDS IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL YOU FREAK

I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding

AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

Guillotines are the moderate solution

It is every MAGA guy's dream to physically abuse children and this guy got his chance, then got his ass kicked by the kids. Beautiful.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse

if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

as someone who doesn't think it's enough i also want to be extremely clear that it definitely matters and also fucking rules

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

reporter: donald trump has announced that americans must evolve into a race of hardy metal men via mandated injections of liquid mercury. your response?

klobuchar: *visibly straining to remember line consultants came up with* donkey kong donald’s economic policies are “bananas” for small business

my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI (permalink) Last night, I gave a speech for the University of Washington's "Neuroscience, AI and Society" lecture series, through the university's Computational Neuroscience Center. It was called "The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI," and it's based on the manuscript for my next book, "The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI," which will be out from Farrar, Straus and Giroux next June:

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."

This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular.

I don't really care what Republicans think.

I want to hear nothing from them but screams.

if you are providing a baseline standard of living for all - i.e. a strong floor - you are limiting how much wealth any individual can accrue - i.e. the house has a fucking ceiling

if you set some money aside for people, that is money the billionaires can't have

Stephen Miller is doing raw, open white supremacy. The logics of Andrew Jackson and Adolph Hitler and every Jim Crow lynch mob.

And also, even the Wall Street Journal opinion page thinks the racism has gone too far, which is really saying a lot about exactly how extreme it is 🙃

Wow a perfect 0 for 5. 0 for 6 if we count southeast and England as two separate categories. But if we count south and east as separate then I’m 1 for 7 so I got that going at least

I guess "modern American masculinity is a neotenous emotional state where the culture permits, and even cultivates, juvenile developmental qualities into adulthood" is just a fancy way of saying "everyone is twelve now"

zohran: i will cherish & protect nyc’s jewish community & prioritize their safety but i won’t abide israel’s treatment of palestinians

jewish orgs: 😡

trump: jews are stupid ungrateful idiots who owe me for giving bibi cart blanche & persecuting palestine supporters, also i ❤️ nazis

jewish orgs: 😍
